Hand Games / Jeux de Mains

I’ve seen other blogger friends do it for a few months already, and felt that maybe it could be fun. I was actually considering doing it for a few months already, but knew I wouldn’t be able to schedule anything for August, nor for July… So September it is! Back to School time :). I’m talking about the “Picture of the Month”, where a group of bloggers sync up with themselves and publish, all at the same time, a post with a single picture, according to a theme, along with the links to the blogs of all other participants. The date is the 15th of each month, at noon Paris time. So here we are. And for this month, the theme is “Jeux de mains” (Hand games is the closest translation I can come up with, sorry…). I’ve thought long and hard about what to pick. Well, not so long. And ok, maybe not so hard.

That’s the picture of Emil Viklický’s hands I took during his live jazz session last November in Brussels. I would have preferred taking pictures of my hands playing, but let’s be honest, I’m not a pro, and taking a picture without my hands is not exactly the easiest thing to do (yes, I know, timer and tripod, or remote, but shhhhhh). And since the artist himself judged the picture good enough that he’d share it on his facebook profile, I guess it’ll have to do :). Also, I’m not sure if I’ll ever be able to get my picture taken while playing on something like a Bösendorfer, a Steinway (although I did touch one, once), or a Pleyel… *sigh*

I like the valuable information you provide in your articles.

I am quite sure I’ll learn many new stuff right here! Best of luck for the next!
